# scan

#### signature: `scan(accumulator: function, seed: any): Observable`

## Reduce over time.

***

💡 You can create [Redux](http://redux.js.org)-like state management with scan!

### Examples

**Example 1: Sum over time**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-ltcl9d?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { scan } from 'rxjs/operators';

const source = of(1, 2, 3);
// basic scan example, sum over time starting with zero
const example = source.pipe(scan((acc, curr) => acc + curr, 0));
// log accumulated values
// output: 1,3,6
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
```

**Example 2: Accumulating an object**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-vu63kz?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) | [jsBin](http://jsbin.com/fusunoguqu/1/edit?js,console) | [jsFiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/btroncone/36rbu38b/) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { Subject } from 'rxjs';
import { scan } from 'rxjs/operators';

const subject = new Subject();
//scan example building an object over time
const example = subject.pipe(
  scan((acc, curr) => Object.assign({}, acc, curr), {})
);
//log accumulated values
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val =>
  console.log('Accumulated object:', val)
);
//next values into subject, adding properties to object
// {name: 'Joe'}
subject.next({ name: 'Joe' });
// {name: 'Joe', age: 30}
subject.next({ age: 30 });
// {name: 'Joe', age: 30, favoriteLanguage: 'JavaScript'}
subject.next({ favoriteLanguage: 'JavaScript' });
```

**Example 3: Emitting random values from the accumulated array.**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-lb8aw9?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { interval } from 'rxjs';
import { scan, map, distinctUntilChanged } from 'rxjs/operators';

// Accumulate values in an array, emit random values from this array.
const scanObs = interval(1000)
  .pipe(
    scan((a, c) => [...a, c], []),
    map(r => r[Math.floor(Math.random() * r.length)]),
    distinctUntilChanged()
  )
  .subscribe(console.log);
```

**Example 4: Accumulating http responses over time**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/rxjs-scan-accumulate-request-responses?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { interval, of } from 'rxjs';
import { scan, delay, repeat, mergeMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

const fakeRequest = of('response').pipe(delay(2000));

// output:
// ['response'],
// ['response','response'],
// ['response','response','response'],
// etc...

interval(1000)
  .pipe(
    mergeMap(_ => fakeRequest),
    scan < string > ((all, current) => [...all, current], [])
  )
  .subscribe(console.log);
```
